The property was clean and tidy, same as our room was neat and big enough. The receptionists who were on the pm and night shift were not so good. Kept asking for my receipts as I knew they overcharged me with some costs. Their driver was awesome with another male staff. Receptionists need to improve their customer service as they will be the first impression for their guests

Just an improvement for customer service as mentioned above will be an asset for the sake of the wonderful place

Staff friendly and helpful. I asked for airport pickup and he was right there. If you need to overnight to make connections at Faleolo Airport, this is by far the best location, short drive (way too long to walk). I got an air conditioned room and the temperature was right. There is a restaurant, which had generous portions at a good price. If you have a night plane to catch they will wake you up on request.

Super good for making connections. Their air con rooms are good. This is far from anything else, it is a hour taxi drive to the city of Apia. This motel is very adequate, but not fancy, but good value for money.

I recently stayed at Transit Motel, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, making the check-in process smooth and easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. I had a early morning flight and I particularly loved taxi service as a driver woke me up and made sure I reach airport on time. The housekeeping team did a great job of keeping everything tidy throughout my stay. The hotel facilities were also excellent. The pool was well-maintained and a perfect place to relax. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located, and friendly place to stay. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit memorable!

It exceeded my expectations after reading the reviews. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Check in was efficient and they told us about the free airport shuttle without us asking. It left exactly on time too. The restaurant has delicious food at affordable prices. Our room was basic but perfect for our need to get an early night sleep for a very early check out. The air-conditioner was quiet when I had to turn it on at night for awhile because I was hot. Some other guests were a bit loud but then everything was quiet so I think the hotel staff must have asked them to shush.

Location near Faleolo Airport and Savaii ferry

We had two different stays for 1 night each. First time we had a room close to reception and there was noise of wheely bags on concrete and guests coming and going all night. Room 51 from memory. Coming back a week later we asked for a room at the back. Room 32 from memory and it was much better with no noticeable noise. The rooms themselves were comfortable and breakfast on our first day was good. We left early morning on our second stay to catch the ferry. We did not try the restaurant for dinner. There seemed to be no menu available and we were told “either chicken soup or vegetable soup” So we went down the road another restaurant for dinner 2 or 3 kilometres or so away around the corner past the wharf. The Sheraton across the road was closed for maintenance.

Location is perfect for those who need a place to stay before an early or late flight as it is really close to the airport or for those who are travelling to/from savaii as it is located in between airport and the wharf. The place has definitely grown since last staying here over 5 years ago - the staff are friendly and there is even a free shuttle bus service to ensure you make your flight. New addition is there is now an pool and resturant at the front of the place and plenty of space to park

Greetings brethren, Talofa lava The hotel was very satisfied my expectations due to the fact that it was close to the international Airport and close to wharf easy access that I can recommend. The pricing of per night meet my expectations and in the moderate level. The things that I like as follow: (1) The motel should have provided individuals electric kettle in each room. (2) The bathroom tap should have supplied hot and cold water for shower. (3) The motel should have what apps number. (4) The motel should have emailed address used as contact in terms of easy communication. Thanks Fa'afetai Kindly regards Br.Abel Tasman Mewebu

The lady that we dealt with on the day was friendly & kind. Property was nice. The Pool area was really good. I would stay there again if I had to because it’s close to my husbands village.

There was a leak in the bathroom and the people that sit where they do the laundry were not quite friendly. Never greet with a smile. Just the one that empty and full up the toilets was very kind. Short hair and Palagi looking. Very nice person.

Love the hospitality, the food was fantastic, nice location, and the staff were very honest and very very helpful, looking forward to my next stay. God bless and stay blessed forever always, tofa, Soifua manuia leaso. Vinaka vakalevu Mr. Joshua Koroisavou Fiji 🇫🇯 Island

What I don't like is the fact that the motel is in Samoa and since it was my first Samoan trip, I was looking forward to having some Samoan delicacies and real Samoan food but other than that, everything is perfect.

I stayed at Transit for several nights before and after a sporting event. I was worried based on the bad reviews but didn't need to be at all, the rooms were much nicer than expected. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well thought out, and the staff are lovely. The aircon works really well and there are nice little touches; even the budget room has a bedside lamp which I really appreciated. I stayed in both the budget double, and the standard queen rooms. The budget double is absolutely fine for a night or two but it's worth upgrading to the standard room if you can as it's quite a big jump in size of room & comfort. I can only compare Transit to one other place I stayed in Samoa and definitely found Transit to be more comfortable and better value. Also the dog (Brownie) is absolutely adorable! (But don't worry, he's quiet and will leave you alone unless you actively go to talk to him).

The place can be a bit noisy at night but I knew this in advance and just took earplugs so that it wasn't a problem.
